Pulled the trigger and....
Ordered the bumper a few weeks ago, it took about a week to make it from
NY to TX. It sat at the shipper for three days locally waiting on them to schedule a deliver to my house. Unfortunately, it arrived scratched, and missing the shackles. The Lucky8 guys are working to get a credit from the shipper, we will see, and the shackles are on their way.
Overall the bumper is awesome, great quality and easy to install. I did it myself. It took longer to take all of the old parts off, than it did to install. I used a floor jack, it was fairly simple, 8 bolts.
As for the cutting questions earlier. The only trimming was of the flares and inner wheel linings. No metal cutting required.
I struggled a bit to find a good set of light mounting brackets. I purchased a couple of brands to try out from 4 wheel parts, but did not like any of them. KC and Rugged Ridge. I found that the cheapest option from Amazon worked the best $12, 2” horizontal bar aluminum brackets. I did have to replace the cheap allen bolts with a longer and sturdier set from Ace hardware.
As for the washer bottle relocation, I purchased a $18 option from Amazon and a 2” wise piece on aluminum from Lowe’s to form the bracket. It was an easy install as well. I’ll take some pics tomorrow in the daylight and upload.
Also, I used my Gap IID to disable the front parking sensors, as I removed them completely.
